Gene Autry
Along with Roy Rogers, Gene Autry defined a screen archetype of the 1930s and '40s: the singing cowboy. A gifted singer and songwriter, Autry began his career as a Jimmie Rodgers imitator before developing his own distinctive style. Among his many, many hits are "Back in the Saddle Again," "Yellow Rose of Texas," and "That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine." As a star of recordings, TV, and film, Autry had a pervasive influence, essentially creating the template for the "western" half of country & western music.
